What is COLT?

COLT is a comprehensive educational program designed to help meet the challenges of serving as an ERA chapter leader. During this virtual training, attendees can expect to gain creative ideas and practical knowledge, such as member recruitment, hosting events, using the tools available on the ERA website and organizing educational sessions, all to help chapter leaders elevate chapter activities and networking opportunities.

If you are already in an active chapter leadership role or are interested in pursuing one, talk to your board about attending this valuable training program where you can learn from other chapter leaders.
